12:03 pm
in july, we were 117,000 jobs created. 75,000 is going to be seen as puny. watch the markets, they are going to react to this. it doesn't get more important than this number when we are talking about the economy. >> back to the productivity numbers, was that a surprise? >> yeah, it definitely was. one of the big stories in our economy has been increasing productivity, despite the fact that employers have been hiring fewer people and cutting back. now a vice grip for employers who see productivity falling off and now they have to pay more for those workers. not good news for employers. we'll see if the trend persists. it is new and surprising to economists. >> gerri willis, good to see you. thank you. >> president obama caving to the house speaker john boehner's request to change the date of his big jobs
12:04 pm
speech. the president originally asked to address congress next wednesday night which conflicted with the republican presidential debate. house speaker boehner balked and suggested the president change the date to next thursday. and then, the white house press secretary jay carney released this statement and i'm quoting "the president is focused on the urgent need to create jobs and grow our economy. so he welcomes the opportunity to address a joint session of congress thursday september 8th. and challenge our nation's leaders to start focusing 100% of their attention on doing whatever they can to help the american people." wendell goler live at the white house. what else is the white house saying? >> reporter: i'm told privately that everyone here at the white house acknowledges the fight over when the president addresses congress next week. as one person put it really stupid. there is no material difference in the president speaking on thursday instead of wednesday. i'm also told the chief of
12:05 pm
staff spoke with house speaker boehner yesterday. boehner not only didn't object to the wednesday date, he didn't ask for time to think it over. the white house didn't give him time. announcing the speech minutes after the call. press secretary carney said, changing the date was not a big deal. >> all we care about here is that which address the issues that are most important. we are certainly not interested in inside the beltway political gamesmanship. >> reporter: asked how the american people can have congress and the white house fixing the economy and creating jobs when they can't agree on a speech date. carney said because fixing the economy and creating jobs matter. sideshows like when the president speaks, not a big deal. >> now about that plan, why should americans be confident the proposals will result in job growth? >> reporter: well, folks here say because the president will
12:06 pm
propose cutting taxes. extending jobless benefits. launching infrastructure projects that nonpartisan, middle of the road economists will all agree will create jobs. and he will do so in a matter that does not raise the deficit. that said, the white house this afternoon released a mid session budget review that predicts unemployment will be nearly a full percent higher next year than they thought it would be at the start of this year and economic growth nearly a full percent less. >> wendell, thank you. much more on this with the washington bureau keefe of the "wall street journal". the journal owned by the parent company of this network. flood water across parts of the northeast have begun to recede. cleanup effort has only just begun. early estimates suggest irene could be one of the nation's costliest natural disasters, ever. >> it was unbelievable. you couldn't do anything.

12:09 pm
school here. we asked the mayor of patesson when he expects they will be able to return home. he said it is uncertain. >> folks cannot just return to their homes, even if they want to. the flood waters may be in basements, still have taken out pilot lights there could be gas emitted in the properties as we speak. >> reporter: one other thing, after all the flood water is gone, after all the debris, the sludge has been cleaned up, people have new furniture. one thing is going to remain for a long time to come, that will be the economic consequences here. it is going to cost millions and millions of dollars to cleanup not just new jersey but the entire east coast. one estimate today over seven billion dollars. >> one of the most costly disasters ever, david lee miller live in paterson, new jersey, thank you. >> from flood to fires. wildfire alert. crews in texas reporting some progress against a fire that

political analysts suggest president obama lost the game of political chicken to congressional republicans. the president originally asked to deliver his plan for jobs and economic growth to a joint session next wednesday. the same night as the gop presidential debate. speaker boehner aftered next thursday instead. and the white house obliged. today a new poll shows the president's approval rating has slipped to its lowest point since he entered the white house. 42% of voters nationwide approve. 52% do not. with us the washington bureau chief of the washington journal owned by the parent company of this network.
12:22 pm
jerry, this was a coincidence, why back down? ? >> if i invite myself to your house and you don't want me there and you say come tomorrow night, i don't have a lot of choice. they had wednesday, thursday to pick from. they tried to force wednesday. speaker boehner said nope, going to be thursday. they were talking past each other. the white house said we ran the date past them and boehner's shop said we didn't sign off on the date it appears they were both right. the upshot it makes everybody in the country think all these people in washington have lost their collective minds and maybe that's right. >> fair point. it is still a mess. you have the nfl game which starts 8:30 thursday night the speech going to have to be at 7:30 going to run into pregame a bit. a lot of the country not home from work yet.
12:23 pm
that's not the best time to have this. >> no, it is not. you just put your finger on why the white house wanted to do it wednesday. i don't think they were willing to disrupt the republican debate. i'm not sure that was their goal. their goal was probably to stay out of nfl football, a bigger draw for americans. now never stuck with that nonetheless, the president still gets to make his speech to a joint session. the republicans get to have their debate. one of the things that i think is ironic, all this publicity for the republican presidential debate next week in california has probably driven a couple more million viewers to that debate than otherwise. >> good point if you are a republican, would you maybe in hindsight have said let's not say a word. let's have the president's speech at 8:00. do the debate after. then you have eight republicans to get the last word, including rick perry in his big coming out party. >> exactly. that's the way i thought it was going to work out.
12:24 pm
in the end this would be a good set-up for republicans. they get a rebuttal for an hours at least on national tv not just one republican but a bunch of republicans and there would be a bigger audience. i think speaker boehner got himself in the position which he couldn't say yes. he was making the point i didn't tell people to be back in the house until 6:30 tuesday night. reconvene, security clearance, i can't do it logistically wednesday. once he said that, the dye was cast. >> did boehner win this round? did the president back down? he's getting a lot of flak from the left. it is correct? >> the president gets a lot of flak from the left all the time. every step toward compromise, every move toward the middle. every attempt to be civil is now basically drawing fire from the left because they have a feeling he needs to stand up more. they say this is one more example of his not doing so.
12:25 pm
the reality is this will pass. the question will be what does the job speech say and does it make any difference? does he convince everybody that is an and dote to a bleak jobs picture by everybody's reckoninging that is going to be remembered. -- my guess is the problem with the speech dueling and the date dueling makes everybody look silly. >> bottom line is the speech better be a doocy if you are going to steal some pre-- doozy, if you are going to steal some pregame eyeballs. >> top anti-terror official in the white house says we have al-qaeda on the run. that does not mean the fight is over. a live report on that coming up. plus, a possible blow to syrian regime as it continues to slaughter its own people. that's next. g a payout from a legal settlement or annuity over 10 or even 20 years? call imperial structured settlements.

12:30 pm
he's been locked up in peru more than a year. why now is he only being criminally charged? >> reporter: trace, down in peru there's an enormous backlog in criminal cases and trials that's part of the reason. because of that there's a law in peru which calls it unconstitutional for any person to be kept in prison, detained for more than 18 months, without being formally charged with any crime. so far joran van der sloot has been in jail 14 months. had he not been criminally charged with allegedly killing stephanie flores in june of 2010, by december there was an argument he would likely have been freed and walked away. of course he's the prime suspect in the natalee holiday disappearance. that would have been two major crimes, major murders, major disappear rans he was associated with that he did not get punished for. at this point, he's charged
12:31 pm
with one count of first degree murder. we've confirmed this with the minister of public affairs in peru. our version of the attorney general's office. as well as one count of robbery. >> did he ever confessed to killing flores? >> remember, after they found her body, they traced the room to joran van der sloot and police looked at tape we were down there huge international manhunt. they caught him in chile. during the three days they had him, after this perp walk police did obtain a confession from joran van der sloot. again, that's the police saying he confessed. take that for what you will. there's never been a written declaration or him vocalizing it in an open court. no trial date has been set. the prosecutor in peru is hoping that joran van der sloot gets sentenced to 30 years in prison and pay a fine of
12:32 pm
$200,000 peruvian money that is $75,000 in u.s. dollars. 30 years in prison would be a very longtime. his attorney is quoted in the papers in peru today saying he think it is much length than justified. he calls this a crime of passion. prosecutors think it is very much premeditated. flores the victim her father a one-time presidential candidate in peru, very well connected. >> 30 years not long enough for the holloway family. phil keating, thanks very much. as we approach the 10 years since september 11th, attacks. united states says is no new evidence of attacks against america. pwrefpb than says the recent killing of al-qaeda's second in command was a huge blow to the network. he adds al-qaeda's leadership is busy trying to hide, preventing them from plotting thank you taxes.
12:33 pm
catherine, brennan says al-qaeda is on a steady slide. what does that mean? >> reporter: u.s. officials say the term an lies to the leadership in pakistan that it is under pressure with the loss of bin laden and two operational planners since may. bin laden was the driving force behind the mass casualty attacks targeting the u.s. and targets overseas. the data found in his compound showed he was fixated on domestic targets until the end. you see it here, not a lot of specificity have been run down no known active plots targeting that date. officials tell fox the threat against western and u.s. targets in europe has also receded. >> what about awlaki is he the bin laden of the future? >> reporter: officials say the cleric is the public face of
12:34 pm
al-qaeda to the west. he's considered an operational plan for the a can affiliate in yemen. he lived in the u.s. for 21 years this is his mugshot from 1997 for soliciting prostitutes in san diego. the cleric slipped through the grasp of the fbi in 2002. there's compelling evidence he was an overlooked player in 9/11. that was a question we put to the homeland security committee today. >> i'm concerned about -- he's been a real source of danger to us. he's high on our target list. >> how about how he was allowed to slip through and come back into the united states have you heard any more about that? >> no. to me that is outrageous. >> reporter: the thing that is significant u.s. officials described the affiliate in yemen as the most concerned group for u.s. national security because it remains focused on the u.s.. it has shown the ability to hit the u.s. and has been
12:35 pm
calling its own shots for sometime. >> katherine herridge, live for us in washington, thank you. . >> reporter: you're welcome. now the rise of freedom. fox news channel committed to documenting the rebuilding of the world trade center site for years to come. officials have been ramping up security in preparation for the opening of the 9/11 memorial, a little more tan a week from now the new york city police commissioner calls the site an iconic target for terrorists. there's a new state-of-the-art command center dedicated to protecting it. >> we have devoted over 200 officers who are world trade center command that is just the beginning. we'll have well over 600 officers there when the world trade center is ultimately built out. >> you see construction site, areas near the construction site. you see the 9/11 memorial

12:37 pm
regime has banned all foreign journalists. security forces have killed at least 420 people in that city. and accuses soldiers and police of torturing protesters. some, until they died from their injuries. syria's state run agency claims terrorists captured that official and forced him to lie. the chief fox report correspondent jonathan hunt live in the new york newsroom. this official resigned in a video message, right? >> reporter: absolutely. clearly an attempt to embarrass the assad regime and shame them for what this official the attorney general of the province of hama the epicenter of the rebellion, wanted to do. he wanted to embarrass assad. that's the point of the video. the assad regime immediately came back and said this was not done voluntarily. he's been kidnapped by rebels. they are forcing him to make this video. he put out a second video
12:38 pm
saying that is not true. i'm the protection of the rebels. this is part of the war of words which is now a war of video statements. >> what do we know about the push for tougher punishments against the syrian regime? >> reporter: there's a meeting right now involving european union nations and the u.s. secretary of state clinton in paris. it is all about libya. hillary clinton has also been talking to european leaders about how to increase punishments against the syrian regime many they are looking at a europe-wide and u.s.-wide ban on the import of syrian oil further sanctions and they still want to get a united nations security council resolution. the problem is the russians once again dragging their feet. that's why it is so difficult to move forward with all of these punishments against the syrians. >> the fox report's chief correspondent jonathan hunt, thank you. >> for the first time since the iraq war began an entire
12:39 pm
month has passed without any american troops being killed. according to the latest numbers from the associated press, no u.s. forces died in august. either in combat or under any other circumstances. in all, more than 4,000 american service members have died in iraq since the u.s.-led invasion in 2003. new controversy over a texas law that would change rules for doctors who perform abortions. the state says it will save lives. a judge calls it unconstitutional. our legal panel weighs in, next. emily's just starting out... and on a budget.
12:40 pm
12:41 pm
12:42 pm
like a ramen noodle- every-night budget. she thought allstate car insurance was out of her reach. until she heard about the value plan. and saving money with allstate doesn't stop there... kim and james are what you might call overly protective. especially behind the wheel. nothing wrong with that. in fact, allstate gives them a bonus -- twice a year -- for being safe drivers. dollar for dollar, nobody protects you like allstate. a judge has temporarily blocked several key parts of a controversial texas law, aimed at discouraging women from getting abortions. would it require several doctors' appointments and invasive con gram before the procedure. we are told women who want an abortion must first look at an
12:43 pm
image of the fetus or embryo and listen to the hard beat. the judge ruled that was unconstitutional saying the act compels physicians to advance an ideological agenda with which they hey not agree regardless of any medical necessity. the texas governor and presidential candidate perry signed the law earlier this year. he says it would save countless lives by informing women about the procedure. the state is now appealing the judge's decision. let's take this to our legal panel. joey jackson and criminal defense attorney rebecca nitkin. it says the doctor would have to display the trawl sound image to the mom. then -- the ultrasound image to the mom and make the heartbeat audible and explain the or agains. the judge said that was unconstitutional is that right request >> there's a political component. a judge is not in the business of deciding whether a law is good, bad or necessary.
12:44 pm
a judge has to determine whether it is constitutional. i would suggest it is. if you look at the law, it is informational. a doctor and patient are together, collaborating itch and the doctor is giving information to the patient did various parts of the fetus. compulsory information, the law was challenged on first amendment grounds. it is a big part of what government does. you have manufacturers required to warn about products. when giving medications we are told what they are contra indicated with, what is contained. food. what i would suggest this is nothing more than an informational statute requiring doctors to go over with patients, reliable, adequate, necessary information about medical decisions they are making. >> the judge differs with joey. the judge says this would force thes did to make an ideological stand. >> i love joey. we are on different sides of the fence on this.
12:45 pm
first, the law cannot be vague. right off the bat it flunks the vagueness test. you are going to have a doctor with a sonogram, by the way who is paying for these sonograms? any way. he's going to say, i have a fuzzy picture here. the next room the doctor is going to be saying, i have a here. new like three weeks or something of that nature. what is the doctor supposed to do? there is no direction. each room something else is going to be happening. how are you going to find out if the doctor is doing the job? you are going to have a police officer in the room? taking records from the women and saying on this day the doctor gave the sonogram and sat with the woman who obviously the legislator believes is an idiot -- >> supporters of in law what they are contending is the reason women after they get an abortion regret it is because they are not given all the facts. texas law saying if we had a
12:46 pm
doctor to explain what is happening, maybe they would make a different decision. >> right that's what they are saying, because all women are idiots and they jump into everything and they haven't spent a million hours pining over this decision they have to make. on top of that if they are raped or victims of sex abuse and child abuse or whatever, there's a special exception. they have to get a certified copy and swearing to it. again, step back on this, what about hppa? that doesn't to the women either, because the federal law doesn't apply either, because all of these records are going to have to be available. >> trace, i understand rebecca's frustration, i do in terms of enforcement and how you would do it. you have to take a step back from that. look at the law itself. you have a first amendment. all amendments -- no amendment is absolute. you know trace the first amendment, defamation, i can't defame you ultimately, i would be liable. second amendment, right to bear arms.
12:47 pm
